our love of blue & white dishes has been going strong for so long now, i can hardly remember how it all began. this is a collection that feels so timeless! i love these dishes we have had hanging on our dining room wall from the very beginning + it has grown over the years from the first five plates in our teeny townhome to the 16 or so we have collected today.
it was surprising to hear someone say the other day that this is “coming back”, when we’ve been decorating our home this way for over a decade! certainly this must be one of the simplest examples of functional decor + to me, it feels very european. need a dish? …take one down off the wall.
whether as decor or aesthetically practical storage, this is a design element every home can benefit from! we had a client that wanted some large blue + white platters to frame the door to her back porch. once on the wall, it added that touch of warmth + familiarity that she felt was missing before. my favorite larger scale examples of this would be the displays seen in places like anthropologie or tupelo honey which was at one time located in sandy springs, georgia. something about the ceramics, patterned designs + glossy finish adds that it factor that makes a space
if you think that you could use some guidance acquiring dishes that flow cohesively with your home’s style or would like advice on where a vignette like this would look best, please ask; i’d love to work with you!
